It is a fleeting memory, a sudden remembrance of times long past, a meditation on time and culture, a touch of an emotional diary. We follow the eyes of a world traveller who makes sharp observations and tries to convey them to his friend.

The narrator’s voice switches from Japanese to German to English to French, thereby embodying the language of the places visited.

Five Documentaries You NEED To Watch On Netflix As Of 11/13/13

You walk away from them smarter than you were when you showed up. That is how documentaries work. They often find a single subject, and focus their energy on informing those who don’t seem to know enough about it. While it is oft misunderstood that horror films are my favorite, they are a close second, but documentaries take the cake for me. If you went through my Netflix account right now, you would see that I have given five-star ratings to documentaries far more than any genre of film on there. Did you know punk was actually and unofficially started in 1974 by a three young black guys out of Detroit who formed a band named Death? Not only did this open my eyes to how we stereotype cultures based on music, but it introduced me to a band whose music I have had a slight obsession with ever since.

I will give you this disclaimer right now. Yet NOTHING ever stopped him. SURPLUS trailler. Civilisation. In 1966 BBC Television embarked on its most ambitious documentary series to date.

Civilisation

The eminent art historian Lord Clark was commissioned to write and present an epic examination of Western European culture, defining what he considered to be the crucial phases of its development. Civilisation: A Personal View by Lord Clark would be more than two years in the making, with filming in over 100 locations across 13 countries. The lavish series was hailed as a masterpiece when it was first transmitted in 1969. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, Clark's compelling narrative is accompanied by breathtaking color photography of Europe's greatest landmarks. This 'history of ideas as illustrated by art and music' remains the benchmark for the numerous programmes it inspired. Civilisation was one of the first United Kingdom television documentary series made in color, commissioned during David Attenborough's controllership of BBC2.

Spirit of Baraka

Powaqqatsi is the second part of Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi trilogy. Powaqqatsi concentrates on people of the developing world. Images from Brazil, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Nepal, and Peru make the film a good contrast to Koyaanisqatsi. Powaqqatsi concentrates more on people and less on their creations or surroundings than in Koyaanisqatsi. (Official Movie) THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?
